It was in the Billboard Top 40 for 15 weeks.- lyrics as recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band on the 1976 album"The Roaring Silence" (Warner 3055)

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomatIn the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hatWith a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-roundWith this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the groundThe calliope crashed to the ground

But she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takesShe said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break"And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outsideAnd little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a rideAsked me if I needed a ride

But she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light

She got down but she never got tiredShe's gonna make it through the nightShe's gonna make it through the night

------ guitar solo ------

But mama, that's where the fun isBut mama, that's where the fun isMama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sunBut mama, that's where the fun is

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the eastSays, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least"And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls danceAnd some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romanceThe calliope crashed to the ground

But she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the nightBlinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
